Stop Reading. Start Doing. Good god thats a long list. Ok ok, you should never stop reading and never stop learning but I just want to convey my firm stance of balancing that out with doing stuff . And that's exactly what came to my mind w

I originally learned web development through LAMP. I boosted my proficiency when I learned to program in MVC via codeigniter and kohanaphp. Then I learned Ruby on Rails. Kohana and codeigniter set up an MVC environment much like Ruby on rai

A very good question! My answer: A difficult accomplishment should be its own reward irrespective of the outside world. A useful difficult accomplishment will be rewarded by the outside world.

Just curious; I never got these "for students" type of promotions. Everyone does it. Amazon, fogbugz, local pizza shops, and a ton of others I'm sure. Maybe I shoudn't say "I don't get it", because I guess I do. The student label is pretty

You want downvoters to explain themselves; I downvoted you because this makes no sense: I want to make it really clear that what I say is just my the way I see it. 1) If you are honestly going for clarity, then 90% of the words you use in

Read up on how TC traffic is not all it's cracked up to be. Stop caring about TechCrunch. You are doing it backwards. Start with the market first. Your idea is only as good as it applies to the market it serves. You should not have spent 6

We have this problem that Universities are GREAT at marketing. Jane doesn't want to go to some stooooopid lowly community college, she wants to go to USC because ahem, it's better!

My big fear is that I go to find the content is fairly general and a more encouragement/pep talk style rather than content-rich information that is useful to moving forward. Of course it's general information and a rah-rah-rah motivationa

From the founders comment (in the comment section): "...Sometimes people are curious about those around them but it's socially unacceptable to just go up and chat. So those meetings never really happen." I can't think of an instance where

PHP is not a framework? Not sure what you are asking (or rather why you cite PHP when talking about webapp frameworks). In any case, if by "major" you mean HUGE like godaddy or dreamhost? or some other unknown "big" player I have no knowled

wth, this comment will always bother me. sad... so contact people in real life! Write a hand written letter to someone. If you don't know anybody that will sincerely appreciate a hand-written letter from you, make some new friends an

I think a lot of products are trivial. I don't use facebook. the slide slideshow thing looks ...stupid. But then I do understand that if you plague the entire internet with your "stupid" widget, you build a broadcasting platform. Even to th

Too much text. I know you want to get your app out and screenshots are in the works, but it still must be said: show don't tell. Features are all text, need visuals. When I sign up and enter the admin I am lost. Takes me a while to f

I have a problem with the trailer video being completely void of content. Ok so this isn't a "review my startup" but if it was we'd all rip on the message not being digestable in 2 seconds. What do you do and why should I care? Saying vague

Still reading but, first and foremost, I think the opposite of his conclusion on what the ending meant is more obvious. It was clearly about to fall over ... =)

For lack of a better, more constructive comment: This is no good. This is clearly the framework for those shady penny auction sites like beezid, quibid and whatever the hell other thousand clones have sprung up. These sites are unethical.

When I read the loser will "forfeit" their bid I took that to mean the bid is voided or cancelled, so I don't lose anything. But in your scenario it is much harsher and therefore much much much more stupid of a proposition.

ya. being friends with someone is a social thing. If you can't befriend me in real life, I probably don't want to be your friend. (or rather it just would not sustain itself) Also, at least guy to guy, you don't really go out looking for fr

Yeah! That would actually be a better value add if the website integrated preferred paper types/styles/weights with the overall template/theme. Would be nice to have a gallery of previously fulfilled orders to see how the finished product c

Most shopping carts are abandoned because the buyer just wanted to see how much a purchase actually costs. Factoring in shipping, taxes, and possibly shadily hidden fees. "All set to go with your purchase Mr. Smith?" "Nah, I was jus

I have a hard time believing users in your demographic (16-25) are really going to label themselves as "not doing jackshit". I remember when I was in high school I would always be on AIM Friday and Saturday night, because naturally I had

you want "cease" (to stop/end), rather than "seize" (to take hold/control of). no offense or anything, I am just assuming you are a non-native english speaker (by your name)
